Dear Workforce. Our bi-weekly Q&A newsletter - you ask the questions, and our panel of experts give you the answers you need!

I forgot my password and username. What do I do?

There are several possibilities:

1. Membership Confirmation: When you first joined Workforce online, you received a confirmation e-mail that conveniently recorded your username and password. If you still have it, check it out.

2. Have It Sent to You: If you still can't locate your username and password, send a "forgotten password e-mail" to /global/login_lost.xci

To use this function, you'll just need to enter the same e-mail address you used when your originally registered for the site. Your username and password will be forwarded to this e-mail address.

3. Login and Get Your Password Hint: If you remember your username, but forgot your password, do a login anyhow. When the login fails, you'll receive the password "hint" you provided when signing up (i.e. mother's maiden name). If the hint works, you'll remember your password and key it in on the login page.

Remember that the login is case sensitive. "Johndoe" is a different username from "JohnDoe." The same goes with passwords

If you know your username, do the login. When the login fails, you will receive the password "hint" you provided when signing up. If the hint works, you'll remember your password and key it in on the login page.

If all else fails, send a "forgotten password e-mail" to /global/login_lost.xci. You'll go to that link, type in the e-mail address you used when you first joined, and the username and password will be sent to that address.

If you are forgot your username and password AND you are no longer at the e-mail address that you joined at, you can e-mail Workforce for help. Remember, this is only if you have tried the "forgotten password e-mail" and it failed.
